I don't think our campus is well suited for this, scholastically or residentially.
Scholastically, at least when I was there, there was IHUM and PWR1 to be taken the first quarter of freshman year. So then they'd have to finish the IHUM core in their sophomore year? And possibly take PWR1 after PWR2? Most of the schools that have early enrollment don't have a core curriculum the way that Stanford does for frosh.
Residentially, all frosh live on campus in all-frosh or four class dorms. Winter quarter is already the hardest to meet housing demand with many students returning from a fall abroad. Assuming they could place these frosh, where would they go? In the few random spots that open up in four-class dorms? In random upper-class housing? I think it'd really wreck a frosh's experience to be randomly plopped somewhere on campus.
